Chapter 188: Three Sugar Guys
Ji Qingyi chuckled: "I can see that the first emperor did not die of illness. ”
"Oh?" Xiao Kun raised his eyebrows, approached Ji Qingyi and said, "Why did Princess Jin say this?" ”
Ji Qingyi squatted down, touched the emperor's jaw with his fingers and said: "The emperor's jaw is black, the tongue coating is yellow, and a black substance is secreted behind the ear, which is obviously poisoned to death." ”
Gonggong Gao raised his head and retorted: "Princess Jin, you can't say that, all the good food used by the emperor has been tried and tasted by the minions and tested with silver needles, how can it be poisonous." ”
Ji Qingyi glanced at him lightly and said, "Doesn't Gonggong Gao know the slow-moving poison?" ”
After speaking, she stood up and said to the ministers below: "The death of the first emperor is strange, I intend to ask for an investigation for a few days, I don't know what the ministers think?" ”
The ministers below were all staring at each other and didn't know what to say, and General Chu stood up at this time and responded: "This matter really needs to be investigated." ”
"The emperor died suddenly, it is indeed a bit unreasonable."
"yes, it's better to investigate."
With General Chu's response, most of the courtiers below echoed in unison. Xiao Kun looked at the ministers below with a smile, and then laughed softly: "Okay, then I will give you three days, if you can't find out anything......"
Ji Qingyi pulled the corners of his lips and said, "Let the emperor dispose of it." ”
After sending Qingyi back to the house, she went to find Xiao Jin after returning home, but Xiao Jin locked herself in the room, Xiao Ling and Hongchen were standing outside the door, looking very eager, sending Qingyi walked over and asked, "Xiao Jin is inside?" ”
Xiao Ling nodded, and then whispered to Ji Qingyi: "Is this matter true?" ”
As for what this matter is, presumably Ji Qingyi doesn't need to guess to know, she bowed her head and said: "The emperor is dead, his death must be related to Xiao Kun, and that Gao Gonggong knows at a glance that he and Xiao Kun are grasshoppers on the same road." ”
Hongchen interjected: "That Xiao Xiao, killed the emperor?" ”
Ji Qingyi shrugged his shoulders and said: "To put it simply, I have now fought for three days to find out the cause of the emperor's death, if it is not found out after three days, then this Liang will really be Xiao Xiao's world." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Xiao Jin open the door and walk out, still holding a dozen books in his hand. Ji Qingyi glanced at it and said, "What is this?"
Xiao Jin raised his eyelids and said, "It's nothing, it's just some of the emperor's edicts from the past."
Ji Qingyi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly didn't know what to say, King Wei is dead, is Xiao Jin also a little sad? Thinking about it, although Ji Qingyi always said in front of him that King Wei was suspicious, he always seemed to just laugh it off.
Ji Qingyi smiled at Xiao Jin and said, "Well, have you found anything in these oracles?"
Xiao Jin handed those edicts to Ji Qingyi and said, "Not yet."
Ji Qingyi looked at it casually, because this edict or something, it is more written, and a lot of literary styles Ji Qingyi can't understand it, after all, she only recognizes traditional Chinese characters for a long time.
She said to Xiao Jin: "We only have three days."
Xiao Ling sighed when he heard this and said, "It's just that now we don't know where to start investigating."
Ji Qingyi frowned and said, "The emperor was poisoned to death."
"Do you want to be from the whole banquet at that time?" Xiao Jin asked.
Ji Qingyi shook his head and said, "There is a high father-in-law at the banquet, where can I use others."
She looked around and said, "Let's go into the house."
After entering the side room, Ji Qingyi put the oracle in his hand on the table: "Gonggong Gao and the imperial doctor both said that the emperor was in poor health a few days ago, but it is really difficult to say what kind of bad method it is, but if it is really poisoned, poisoning the emperor can be described as ascending to the sky."
Xiao Ling hurriedly complied: "Not to mention the emperor's meal, someone tries something every day, and there is no one who can get close."
Ji Qingyi didn't know much about the inside story, so he asked, "How many things does the emperor have to try?" What is the emperor's diet and daily life? ”
Xiao Ling thought for a while and said: "The one who manages the emperor's daily life is placed in an independent department, as for how many or what, I don't know, but the slave who tries the emperor's meal is fixed, and only the one who dies will be replaced."
Hongchen frowned when he heard this: "The emperor died of poisoning, and the slave who tried it must have also been poisoned."
Xiao Jin lightly clasped his fingers on the table, and said lightly: "All the clues are in the palace, we are very passive."
Of course, Ji Qingyi knew about this situation, and she shrugged and said, "So, we have to go to the palace to investigate now."
Saying that, he stood up and said, "Xiao Ling, if you accompany me to the palace, you will say that you are going to see Princess Luanying."
After a pause, he looked at Xiao Jin and said, "You and Hongchen go to investigate the materials imported and exported by the palace in the past few days or some suspicious places."
Hearing this, Xiao Ling followed Ji Qingyi and walked out.
After leaving the palace, Xiao Ling glanced back and said, "Why don't you let my brother accompany you?"
Ji Qingyi tilted his head and said: "In the current situation, there is no benefit for Xiao Jin to go to the palace, it is better to do some important things."
Xiao Ling shook his soft whip and said, "Actually, my brother must be under special pressure."
Ji Qingyi smiled and said, "If you don't say it, you know."
If the true cause of the emperor's death is not found within three days, then Xiao Kuo will become the emperor, and the consequences of Xiao Kuo becoming the new emperor can be imagined.
Ji Qingyi said jokingly: "In the past three days, we might as well prepare the capital to escape, right?"
"Huh?" As if he hadn't heard, Xiao Ling tilted his ears and said, "What did you say?" Escape? ”
Ji Qingyi raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, prepare some silver to wrap around and run to the corner."
Xiao Ling glanced at her with disgust and said, "The children of our royal family would rather die than live."
"It's better to die than to live, why don't you have a little enlightenment." Ji Qingyi shook his head and said with a smile.
Xiao Ling didn't speak again, the two walked for a while, Ji Qingyi saw the candy seller on the street, and at an unconscious glance, he saw that there were several sugar people who were not pigs and dogs, nor were they strange, they looked like people. She stepped forward and asked, "Sir, what is engraved on your sugar man?"
As soon as the old man saw that he had a business, he hurriedly said: "These are the three of today's Shengshang, the first prince, and the first general."
Now that the emperor has died and the new emperor has not yet been established, everything has not yet left the imperial city, so what this old man said must be King Wei.
When Ji Qingyi heard the general sent first, he was shocked and said, "Do you want to send wind chimes to the general?"
The old man nodded and said, "Exactly, do the two girls want sugar people?"
Ji Qingyi nodded, took out some silver from his arms, handed it to the old man, and said, "Take one each."
Xiao Ling turned his head to look at Ji Qingyi and said, "Why did you buy it?"
Ji Qingyi smiled and said, "I haven't eaten it, I want to taste it."
Xiao Ling was a little surprised: "No, you haven't even eaten sugar man?"
The old man also smiled: "Girl, every character in this pinch has a story."
"Story?" Ji Qingyi asked, "What's the story?"
Xiao Ling raised his chin and said, "Don't you know this?"
Ji Qingyi was stunned for a moment and nodded.
The old man had already handed the sugar man to Ji Qingyi, who took it, thanked him, and then turned his head and asked Xiao Lingdao, "Do you know?"
Xiao Ling looked at her like a monster and said, "Of course I know, I knew these stories when I was a child, and the sugar man who took the first prince proudly said: "This is my father."
After a pause, he pointed to the candy on Ji Qingyi's left hand: "That is your father, and the other is the emperor."
It stands to reason that the emperor's relatives are the most taboo and blasphemous, not to mention such a thing in the market, how can they let the people imitate their own small statues? Thinking about Ji Qingyi, he asked, "In this way, won't there be blasphemy?"
Xiao Ling raised the sugar man of the first prince high, squinted his eyes at the high sun above, and then said: "Selling the baby elephants of the imperial kingdom alone is of course blasphemous, but it is allowed to sell these three people together."
Ji Qingyi frowned, and said suspiciously: "What do you say?"
Xiao Ling glanced at her and said, "You lived in seclusion when you were a child?" Back then, these three recovered the countries around Wei, and it was because of the three of them that Wei was able to stabilize for so many years. ”
"Is there a war?" Ji Qingyi said.
Xiao Ling raised his eyebrows: "Invincible."
Ji Qingyi was a little stunned, and said after a pause: "The three of them, is the relationship very good?"
Xiao Ling tilted his head and said, "I don't know about this, but I heard about something."
"Huh?" Ji Qingyi is very concerned about his father: "What is it?"
Xiao Ling pursed his lips and whispered, "I heard that they all liked my mother."
Sending Qingyi is like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, when she checked the bill before, she felt that maybe the emperor and the wind chimes had an unusual relationship with Mrs. Lu, but she didn't expect that there really was such a relationship.
Ji Qingyi's mind turned for a long time, Xiao Ling stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her, "What do you think?"
Ji Qingyi shook his head and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just feel a little surprised."
Xiao Ling sneered: "What's so surprising, my mother is such an excellent person, of course she deserves their liking."
Ji Qingyi hurriedly smiled and nodded, "I really want to know your mother."
As soon as the words fell, Xiao Ling glanced away at his face: "Let's hurry up and go, hurry up and go to the palace."
Saying that, he walked quickly to the front, Ji Qingyi looked at Xiao Ling's back, lowered his eyes, Xiao Ling was still secretive to Mrs. Lu and refused to discuss it with others.
